Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly has been the second highest run-getter for India at the World Cups. Ganguly contributed significantly with the bat in India’s stellar campaign at the 2003 World Cup. Captaining the ‘Men in Blue’, 'Dada' amassed 465 runs with two tons against Kenya and one against Namibia.

The prolific lefthanded opener had a good outing with the bat at the 1999 World Cup in England scoring 379 runs. His 183-run unbeaten knock versus Sri Lanka at Taunton was perhaps his most destructive knock in ODI cricket. Sourav is the second highest century maker for India at the World Cups with four hundreds to his name.
